Math and science are survival skills for this century. Understanding basic
science concepts and history help the students assure a more healthful and
successful and lucrative future as well as provide a basic foundation for
their success in business, industry or for making their own discoveries and
inventions. I hope the children acquire interest in science and therefore
can make better decisions for our nation.
